According to police, a woman arrived home about 1:40 p.m. and found her roommate’s ex-boyfriend inside the apartment. The woman told the man to leave, but he refused.

Police say she contacted her roommate, who arrived at the apartment with her new boyfriend.

“The ex-boyfriend contacted the boyfriend on the parking lot located on the east side of 2323 E. Cherry and both parties began to argue,” said Lisa Cox, police spokeswoman. “The argument ended when the boyfriend fired a handgun.”

Police say he and his girlfriend left after the shot was fired.

Authorities are searching for the suspect, who left the scene in a gray or silver car.
